St. Patrick’s Day is FINALLY here!
I love any kind of themed dessert, but as someone who is gluten free and 99% Irish, I can’t think of anything better than combining gluten free cupcakes and St. Patty’s Day.
Will my cupcakes taste different if they’re gluten free?
Short answer- they shouldn’t! Some people might have in their head that a cupcake can’t be delicious because it’s gluten friendly, they’re wrong!
Also, to save us time we’re using gluten-free boxed cupcake mix, but that isn’t going to change anything in the way these taste, in fact I’ve been told they’re better than regular homemade cupcakes! So, let’s get to the fun part and start baking our gluten free St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes!
